It has been stalling and chugging, doesn't act like it's getting gas. Doesn't matter f it's on a full tank of gas or lower. Replaced gas cap, didn't seem to help. Only seems to do this when n drive and getting up to the speed limit, whether on highway or in town. It s getting worse. Putting sea foam n doesn't seem to help or changing gas from 87 to 89. I purchase gas at several different locations, doesn't make a difference.

Engine stalls while driving by model year
What owners say
While driving on the interstate suddenly without any "warning" all the dash lights battery, engine, ect came on and the engine stalled. Would not drive or re-start just died. Suggested that it is the computer/PCM...
I have been having a very dangerous issue with my jeep. It stalls numerous times after I get fuel. It has come to my attention that this is a common issue with jeep patriots. It has also come to my attention that there is a recall on the 2012+ models for the issue. I am wondering why there is not a recall on the 2009 model that I have? After extensive research, it appears that this is a ver common problem with the 2007-2009 models as well. This issue is incredibly dangerous, and has nearly caused me to be in an accident numerous times. Being my only mode of transportation, I have no choice but to drive it. Why has jeep not issued a recall for all years, it clearly affects more than just 2012+ vehicles.
The vehicle habitually will stall while driving. It seems to be related to getting it fueled up. I cannot get any support from the dealer regarding the issue, and it seems to be a common problem when looking on various jeep patriot forums.
While I was driving on a city street all the lights on the dashboard came on and immediately started to to stall and wouldn't drive past 15mph..luckily I was able to drive into a wendys parking lot when it stalled completely..after it stalled completey I shut off the engine and tried to start it up again nothing happened wouldn't turn on and just made a clicking noise..this is the second time this has happened
After filling up the fuel tank the engine will stall while driving. Lose acceleration, power steering and power brakes. Have to pull over and turn off the car and turn it back on. Engine light comes on dashboard. Major safety issue, loose control of the vehicle in traffic.
After filling up the fuel tank the engine will stall while driving in traffic multiple times for several miles. This is a major issue since you lose acceleration, power steering and power brakes. This has caused several near misses while turning onto an interstate. This seems to affect 2007-2009 models mostly. The only fix is to replace the entire fuel tank because of a sensor located on top for around 1200 USB. Please see the numerous complaints below.

Vehicle stalls after refueling (several times within 5 miles after refueling) before returning to normal. Vehicle stalls initially while idling immediately after refueling and while in motion. Vehicle stalled when pulling into intersection (on a public roadway), causing wheel to lock. This is a safety hazard. This happens with every refuel since the first event.
After refueling, the vehicle acts like it wants to stall and has stalled on some occasions. This is concerning to me because, I have to put the vehicle in park and restart it. I am afraid when this happens that someone behind me in traffic may slam into my jeep.. I put a recent date below, but it has been ongoing off and on since I bought it last year.
Jeep patriot stalls within about a mile of filling the gas tank, steering wheel locks and is very dangerous. I was stopped at a red light luckily. Problem needs to be recalled asap, gas tank needs to be replaced to fix the problem. Happens to a lof of patriot owners in cars from 2007-2009. Please recall. Please!!!!!!!
Problem with antilock brakes: all the lights on the dash are on. They intermittently go off, but mostly they stay on. Problem with transmission/engine: when I drive, the jeep stalls out. This has occurred on the highway, so fast speed, as well as on side streets. Both of these issues are ongoing, have been happening off and on since I bought the jeep.
When I fill up my gas tank to full, within a mile of leaving the gas station the car completely stalls while driving. The steering and the breaks lock up and I have no control of the car. I have to put the car in neutral and turn it on and off to start working again. This is very unsafe and dangerous while driving! This recently started to happen on a car with minimal miles on it
